Drunk Pirates and Rock Stars = one fun night!

Last night I attended a pirate themed wedding. For those of you who don't know September 19th of every year is National Talk Like a Pirate Day. So be why they be choosin' to walk the plank on that thar day. I took Trax down to the Galivan Center which is were the wedding was. The machine would only take change and I didn't have enough, I was going to go to the car and get more change but the train pulled up just then and I was allready going to be late so I was a true pirate and me treasure is a free ride (I felt horrible). It was really fun to get dressed up and pretend to be a pirate.

They were married by a Jack Sparrow look alike, served Greek food and had belly dancers and plenty of Grog (ie. booze), it all made for a very entertaining night.

Steven spent the day yesturday directing a music video for Kevin Burdick. The first time I ever saw Kevin perform was on the show 15 Minutes that my husbands office produced about 11 episodes of. I was very immpressed I told Steven I wanted his CD's immediatly. Only a few months later Steven participated in the 48 hour film project for the first time and asked Kevin if they could base their film on his song Firefly(http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Firefly+48+hour+film+project&hl=en&emb=0&aq=-1&oq=Firefly+48+hour+film+projec#). Kevin even had a little cameo in the film and was so impressed that he requested that they make a music video for him (www.kevinburdick.com). Once again he was very impressed and asked them to do another music video for him. Kevin lost a young daughter to heart complications and she has been the heart beind many of his songs, my favorite is Too Good for this World (Dempsy's song). I can't listen to it without crying especially since Justen died you can listen to it from his website. Anyway the video they filmed last night is another song about his daughter called Wake Me Alive. Basically he is in an emotional coma after his daughters death and it is about getting out of it. I'm a little bit of a fan if you can't tell. After the wedding I stopped by the shoot and enjoyed watching my husband film and direct and Kevin sing. It was a very good night and I will let all of you know when the video is complete.

how much fun! A pirate wedding. Nice outfit. And I love the song. It almost made me cry. Okay . . . it did. So, why were you watching my adorable nephew? Hope he behaved. When they were staying with us he was on timeout several times each day. But that might be because he was doing things to Ava that he shouldn't have. Hope to see you soon! And we should definitely have a reunion!
